The Rock and Roll Mix-Up
In 1969, North Hampton became famous in rock and roll history because of a funny mistake. The rock band Vanilla Fudge was supposed to play a concert at the Blossom Amphitheater. This concert venue is near a place called Northampton Township, Ohio.
However, the band got confused. They thought the concert was in North Hampton, which is about 200 miles away from the real location! After arriving in North Hampton, they realized their mistake. The band then had to quickly get on a plane to fly to the correct concert place. They arrived four hours late!
The band's singer, Mark Stein, later explained the mix-up. He said their agent kept talking about "Blossom Center in Northampton Township." But when the band looked at a map, they saw "North Hampton" near Dayton. They thought it was a strange place for a concert, but they decided to go there anyway.
